24/7 call? No way! I hate call!

[Guest guest]

Tim, , and Ira's responses are the overwhelming normal response from

those who take their own call. The bottom line: shared

call is a burden. Solo call is not (but you'll need colleagues

around to back you up on occasion).

Thanks Ira for keeping it real in the large practice setting (Ira - ever

think about testing the waters of the IMP project? Check out

www.idealmicropractice.org & consider signing up for our third

cohort - kicking off 12/07).

Attached is a piece I modify from time to time regarding 24/7

access.

Many non imp collieges ask me

about dealing with 24x7 call; I'm wondering if " you " could say

:

a. ave number of calls a week 'after hours'

b. do you have some routine call coverage? yes/no - if yes details

I open 5/2/07 - thanks to your wisdom I'm drying off my wings!
